The Value Of Art Therapy For Those On The Autism Spectrum
This article hits home for me as I have a five year old son who has recently been diagnosed with autism along with sensory processing deficits and speech/language difficulties. His mother and I have been busy this past year getting all the help he can get. It has been crazy but as of now we have him in school that specializes with autistic students. Each day he has been learning something new and we finally something to put on our fridge! Art has always been my therapy throughout my life and especially after I get out of the military. I know what therapeutic effect art has. I am hoping art will have the same for my son Gavin. I cannot wait to start art projects with him. Art might even be a way for him to communicate since he is non-verbal. What do you think about art as therapy for the autistic? Is art your therapy?
